A work in progress. That being said, it's still pretty intense to see the working theory being done by scientists. If they are able to prove it as practical, that would be pretty cool. Again, a theory that's nifty to see some attention and testing. Who knows what the future holds. Another intriguing explanation.

I have always said that Einstein was mistaken and that faster than light travel was possible. What he did was to propose theories based upon the scientific knowledge at the time, and which all these years later, still cannot yet be disproved.

I think it's kind of like the experiments that have been conducted in teleportation. I have seen so far that they have been able to transmit the information about a single atom. A very long way from sending you or me anywhere. But that's not saying that a young genius sometime in the not so distant future won't have a eureka moment and invent a truly unique transportation method.Bob DeWoody

...Leave it to the debbie downers of the forums. I knew you two gentlemen would show up and try to burst the "what if?" bubble of hopeful nature associated in hearing of these exciting experiments going on in this field.

But ya failed! Still exciting and still worth keeping an eye on for the rest of us! New discoveries are made all the time, this perhaps could have the potential of becoming something one day, and then again it may not :D

It's probably an advantage to be an informed skeptic than to be a starry-eyed dreamer. There's less chance of being duped by the man at the medicine show selling snake oil. Until the laws of physics change (as they become more refined with time and advanced proof /disproof of theories) then warp drives, teleportation and traveling faster than the speed of light will remain whimsical fantasies.

I say keep dreaming and wishing but keep your eyes wide open at the same time.

It was Dr. Einstein who said: 'Imagination is more important than knowledge'.

Exactly my point. If Einstein's theorys are correct, then things have to have negative mass to go faster than light. Now, how do we maake a spaceship with negative mass? Or more sensibly, how do we make a spaceship that appears to physics to have negative mass??

I guess I am one of the "debbie downers" the young man referred to. When I was 15 I watched Star Trek and when I was 18 I watched "2001 a Space Odyssey". Living in Florida I also watched Alan Shepard, John Glenn and most of the other Astronauts take off into space right up to the last shuttle launch. It thrilled me then and it thrilled me watching the last shuttle mission launch. But, probably as a factor in growing old I have come to realize that deep space flight, even as depicted in "2001" is several human generations away. But I would love to be proved wrong.Bob DeWoody
